    Balistas are op. They are a ranged weapon that fire the equivalent of wall piercing double bomb. While I think this is okay, whats not okay is how fast they fire and cheap to restock they are. Their fire should be be slowed down and ammo should be redone.

    So people like this idea. Should it be implemented into the game?

    Too any who disagree; have you ever tried to repair a building being seiged by bomb bolts? It can't be done! I wouldn't mind it if you had difficulty protecting a beseiged building that was getting attacked by knights as well but from the moment a ballista unpacks you'll either capture it or lose the building, regardless of what the rest of the enemy team is doing.

    (Pretty much Siege Weapons/Ammo are too effective.)

    not only that, but trying to bomb jump into a ballista is suicide. THEY'RE OP

    I always laughed at the fact that you could rapidly rain mini kegs rapidly upon the enemy. (When mini kegs where still in game) This always seemed like something only an abusive admin could do. I agree they should be nerfed.
    Though they are effective at ending stalemates.

    When I hear effective, I see the old mounted bows. There is a concept of too effective.
